Few film scores from the 1990s are as instantly recognisable as Terminator 2: Judgment Day that pounding, metallic heartbeat of a theme that defined an era of blockbuster cinema. So replacing it with an entirely new soundtrack is nothing short of audacious. Yet that’s exactly what Hear My Eyes is preparing to do, continuing a decade‑long tradition of pairing iconic films with freshly commissioned live scores.
Belgian techno producer Peter van Hoesen has created a brand‑new musical interpretation of James Cameron’s legendary sequel, and he’ll perform it live with the Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio (MESS) from February 25 in Melbourne, before taking the show to Sydney and Canberra. And yes there will be lasers.
Hear My Eyes has built a reputation for transforming the cinematic experience, taking beloved films into unexpected sonic territory. They’ve unleashed King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard on the Italian horror classic Suspiria, invited Sampa The Great to reinterpret the French coming‑of‑age drama Girlhood, and even had Tropical F*** Storm perform alongside the famously score‑less No Country for Old Men. Now, they’re turning their attention to one of the most influential action films ever made, inviting audiences to rediscover Terminator 2 through a completely new sensory lens.
For fans of the original and for those curious to hear a sci‑fi masterpiece rebuilt from the ground up this promises to be one of the year’s most intriguing cinematic experiments.
